Yes.
That sounds like a good guess. Porter abandoned slots at YTZ (despite a promise to keep using them as part of the deal to sell the terminal), complaining that they were losing millions, and the slots were too expensive when compared to YYZ, as illustrated by the fact that no one else at the time was interested in filling the empty slots. I would guess lowering the price may have been what was needed to attract more use by Jazz/Air Canada Express.
That's right. They sold it in 2015. Yes, sometimes build it and they will come does work when there is a viable path to success. Other times, it just looks like an empty cavernous monument to hubris, bad planning and poor execution. I'm looking at you YMX
They probably know that they need more of a CNX feed, perhaps to some of UAs TATL, since local traffic won't support this flight - even on the Q400
some of us are old enough to remember how much AC used to gouge for putt putt DH3s to and from YUL before Porter showed up. And no matter what fed ministers are blithely promising re "accelerated approvals", high speed rail isn't replacing downtown to downtown air any time soon, especially now the runway extension and tripartite agreement has been extended.
I used to love watching the Jays at Exhibition stadium - usually from the third base reserved bench seats - during the early 1980s and watching the City Express Dash 7s and 8s pop up just after take-off. Those were good times.
wonder what the views from Hanlan's Point Stadium (where Babe Ruth played) could have been like in the airport era (they did not overlap)
With limited transit, I prefer Newark. Easy to get to Midtown from there. How good is the bus from LGA?
I cab it into Manhattan, love the new LGA
